Book Lair discussion

The cold is catching up with us here in Shanghai, summer definitively ended. It's time to start cozying up by the heater with a cup of tea and a good book (or run away to tropical places - I'm going to do both this month ^^).

Here are my reading plans to accompany the above activities:


Although I might swap a few of those for some of the numerous diving books I bought lately, since I'm going on a dive trip to Philippines at the end of the month ;-p

Travel safe, Melas and good luck on the dive. You are really getting into it!

Well, I did mention a new obsession... I'm leaving at the end of the month, still 3 more weeks!

Thank you for posting this, Melas. I hope you have a lovely time during your time in Philippines.

I have to take a look at my Netgalley shelf. I keep asking for new books and my request actually get accepted so my feedback rate never increases -.-

Well, that was quite a prolific month for me. I managed to read the above mentionned books, plus quite a few others.

Mainly, I offered The Giver to a friend for his birthday, so I completely got sidetracked and re-read this book, and discover the rest of the quartet too.

Here is the finally count for this month:

Wowza, what a great hawl, Melas!
I think November was by far my best month of the year: https://anaslair.wordpress.com/2016/1...

Mostly short reads but overall enjoyable ones.

What did you think of the Giver quartet?

I loved "The Giver". I didn't like the others as much. If I had to give a recommendation, I'd say, read the first one, forget the others.

Couldn't agree more!

In November I read

So it doesn't end in a cliffhanger?

Kandice, what a month! I am glad you liked The girl with all the gifts as well. When I finished it I immediately wanted to talk about it.

I did too! I don't know anyone in RL who has read it. I found it smart and it kept me very, very interested.

I think my fave for the month has to be Love May Fail. Quick is my go to for a nice, uplifting, easy, but satisfying read. He's a dependable writer.
